What kind of rum should I use?
I used Bacardi for this mojito. Any clear/white rum will work well for this recipe. Even a flavored tropical rum would be lovely in these mojito cocktails.
I would avoid using a spiced or dark rum for these. Clear is key.
A cross between a Pineapple Mojito and a Coconut Mojito
This hybrid mojito is like a Pina Colada turned mojito. To make these cocktails, you will need:
- Fresh pineapple.
- Coconut milk, (or Coconut cream, for a sweeter and sweeter cocktail).
- Coconut water.
- Fresh mint leaves.
- Sugar. I like to use organic cane sugar for these.
- Lime.
- White/clear rum of choice.
All you need to do to make these is muddle together the mint, pineapple, limes and sugar, then add the coconut milk, coconut water, and rum and shake well. Pour over ice.
An easy mojito cocktail, perfect for parties!
With a little prep and muddling, these cocktails are super easy to whip up for guests. You can even do these in large batches or pitchers so guests can serve themselves!
For added flair, garnish each cocktail with a threaded toothpick of pineapple, and a few fresh mint leaves.
